With AVATARIUM, Doom legend Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) has built up a fantastic new band where tough lava riffs meet seventies Hammond sounds. But above all, the incredible Jennie-Ann Smith is enthroned, whose gripping blues voice (Janis Joplin sends her regards!) gives you goose bumps. (Review: eclipsed 10/2015)
In Auckland, New Zealand, they used to call each other The Have. After moving to Berlin in 2009, they re-established themselves as Sun And The Wolf. With the second album "Salutations", the change of place and name is now followed by a small course correction with regard to the musical orientation. While the 2011 debut "White Buffalo" was a fiery rhythm'n'blues mix, the new work is a bow to the psychedelic of the late 60s.
